Loved To Pieces

"Mommy, Mommy! Look what I found!!!"

What is it, do you say?

Younger Brother's Beloved Blankie!
Well, what remains of Younger Brother's Beloved Blankie.

It has been missing for a while, and he found it behind the drawer beneath his bed this morning.

"Don't forget to take a picture of it, Mom!"

"Ah yes, Buggy."

Who could guess that this unassuming little wad of balled up thread means so much?!
At one point in time, I had hoped to save it in his keepsake box.
But I think I'm going to have to settle for an idealized portrait of Blankie instead.
